I had my first ever bridal appointment at Le Bella Donna and it was an overall great experience from start to finish, including finding and buying my dress! It all started with a very nice and thorough conversation with Jen when she called to confirm my appointment. When I arrived, we went over the details I had provided, she asked a few additional questions and then it was on to the dresses! I was able to try on about 15, which was great because while I had an idea in my mind, I wanted to be sure I didn't miss anything. After I selected dresses, Jen pointed out ones I missed and she thought I might look good in but she never came across as pressuring me in any way. The whole experience was so wonderful and I felt at ease the whole time. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and really just made you feel comfortable. I could not have asked for a better experience buying a wedding gown, I highly recommend you make an appointment here!

The love story began when our beautiful couple Jill and Jim met at work. At first their relationship was purely platonic, but the chemistry between the pair was evident from the beginning. After a couple of years, the stars aligned and Jill and Jim went out on their first date. From that moment on, they both knew they were perfect for each other. The proposal happened on a wonderful Christmas filled with travel and family. After a busy day the couple arrived home and began to exchange their own gifts. Little did Jill know that her last present from Jim would contain a ring! Jill recalls being so nervous to open the little green box, but when she did Jim asked her to marry him! It was a wonderful way to end a holiday.

Now, as an engaged couple, the wedding planning was beginning! For many women, one of the most dreamt about moments is being able to try on and find the dress. Jill explains that after looking at about seven places, she was just not satisfied. She found dresses she liked, but nothing that she loved.

In Jill’s case finding the dress of her dreams was like finding the man of her dreams- you don’t settle for just liking one, you need to find one you love. A little discouraged, Jill eventually ended up here at Le Bella Donna. With the help of our staff, Jill was able to find and fall in love with the dress! Jill described her shopping experience at Le Bella Donna as, “Stress free, extremely helpful and exciting- how bridal dress shopping is supposed to be!”

With the dress checked off the list, the wedding was right around the corner. Jill and Jim held their event in the Ballroom at the Ben in Philadelphia where they embraced a classic, elegant theme. Their photographer, Gary Nevitt Jr. from Gary Nevitt Photography, captured stunning shots that will become beautiful memories for the couple to cherish for years to come.

On the day of the wedding, Jill and her eight bridesmaids each got prepared for the big moment together. We asked Jill what she thought about seeing herself in the dress, about to walk down the aisle. She explained, “I remember just thinking YES! This is how I want to look on my wedding day.”

She remembered turning to her bridesmaids and saying, “Don’t you just love this dress!?” From that moment on, Jill was smiling from ear-to-ear, it was perfect!

The whole day was a memorable one. From having the most beautiful November day to Jill jumping onstage and lip-syncing to her favorite song, Jill and Jim loved their day because it was unique and everything they had planned was finally a reality. We asked Jill what her favorite part of the day was, she said that even though she loved every moment, “My best memory was Jim and I sitting at our sweetheart table for the first time as husband and wife and taking the time to take it all in.” What a special moment! We are truly so happy that everything worked out for the beautiful couple!

As a tradition, we like to ask our Bride of the Month for a piece of advice for future brides. Jill’s advice is as follows:

“Enjoy your day and don’t sweat the small stuff! This is what you have waited for and everything will go as planned so have no worries. Do everything you can to enjoy your day and have no responsibilities. My mom, maid-of-honor, and bridesmaids handled everything that whole weekend, and I could not have been more thankful. All I had to do was show up; I was so scatterbrained I surely wouldn’t have remembered everything (and don’t call me Shirely)”

The love story began in the summer of 2012 in the city of Salvador, Brazil where our February Bride of the Month Samantha first met her husband Tommaso.

Samantha and Tommaso’s relationship was long-distance right from the start. Samantha resided in the United States while Tommaso lived in Italy. The pair knew that the distance between their two hearts was not an obstacle, rather a beautiful reminder of just how strong true love can be.

Tommaso proposed to Samantha during a visit to her parents’ home in Bend, Oregon. Samantha nearly cancelled the trip due to a new job opportunity, not knowing Tommaso would be waiting there to ask for her hand in marriage. Luckily things worked out, and Tommaso was able to surprise Samantha by proposing to her just before dinner one night. Samantha recounted the evening, saying; “It was a lovely moment because it was just the two of us. The rest of the night was devoted to reliving all the wonderful times we have had together, and all that were going to come!”

No strangers to traveling the world, Samantha and Tommaso decided to have a destination wedding set in Italy. They chose to embrace the country’s natural beauty for the décor by incorporating purple, white, and green flowers while the centerpieces and table names reflected different fruit from the region.

Samantha wore a beautiful Sophia Tolli wedding gown on her special day and explained that her dress shopping experience at Le Bella Donna was unique, because it was truly about what she wanted. She felt that her judgment was trusted at Le Bella Donna and that allowed her to find the perfect dress.

The wedding was intimate and spoke to creating a union for two families who were, in some cases, meeting for the first time. Samantha and Tommaso each had one witness; here in the States, we would call them a maid of honor or best man. Samantha’s maid of honor, Gwen has been her best friend since pre-school. Samantha shared that Gwen created a calming presence that was essential for a destination wedding where she was still learning the language.

When we asked Samantha to tell us about her best memory of the wedding, her answer was so heart-warming we wanted to share her exact words:

“The day will always be special for me, because I love Tommaso and our wedding was such a celebration of that love. What made the day outstanding was that two families were really coming together for the first time. My family and friends from the States were, in some chances, meeting each other for the first time. While my new Italian side was also interacting with them for the first time at the wedding! There was a lot of reaching across and stabs at communicating that both sides did. It made me extremely happy that all these people got to meet because of Tommaso and I.”
